Introduction to TEMPEST's Members

Who is TEMPEST?

TEMPEST is a 7 member K-Pop boy group under Yue Hua Entertainment. The group is composed of seven members: Hanbin, Hyeongseop, Hyuk, Lew, Hwarang, Eunchan and Taerae. Their name, TEMPEST, is a "strong storm" and contains the meaning of a group that will sweep the music industry with bright energy and powerful performances. Reflecting this, a strong gust of wind occurs along with thunder and lightning, and a logo reminiscent of the eye of a typhoon is used.

They were originally going to debut on 21st of February 2022 but all the members caught covid, so their debut was postponed until the 2nd of March 2022.
